I still have my Mickey Mouse plush from when I was two. And, my bookshelves are filled with comics, manga, and novels based on stuff like Disney movies. We all love what we love, and that's what makes us happy in life. No one should be judged for that.
just like.....the bizarre vitriolic hatred i see on here for autistic ppl who like "childish" things made for little kids is so frustrating and heartbreaking to me. allistics already hate us and infantilize us, so they see an autistic person who happen to like something "childish" and mock us for it.
but what really breaks my heart is seeing OTHER autistic ppl who think of themselves as being "better" than those who like "childish" things and make fun of them bc theyve been taught to hate by an ableist society. doesnt it get exhausting. doesnt it hurt inside to be full of the lies and hatred neurotypicals taught you. doesnt it hurt to take out that hatred on your fellow autistic ppl, to mock them for something that allistics already mock them for. why. why do you do this. who did this to you.
Aaaahhh! These two are so cute! @arystocrat , you did a wonderful job portraying Zelink in this. Plus, I loved that you set it in Gerudo Town!

I went with the Minotaur Hug. Having hugged wookies and tree people at Disneyland, I know that a hug like that feels really good. And I always need that comfort.
fuck it I'm bringing back the poll meme from January
Today's Board Game With My Dad: Marvel Zombies, Heroes Resistance.
We barely survived fighting against the hordes on this one. Actually had to reshuffle the Zombie Deck because so many zombies spawned on us (including every Zombie Hero). Luckily, Spider-Man, Vision, Wasp, and Hulk lived to see another day.
I got so excited when CMON announced this game from their Zombicide line-up. Maybe some day, I can get the full Marvel Zombies base game as well as the expansions (Clash of the Sinister Six and Guardians of the Galaxy seem the coolest). Hopefully, I can share more board game stuff in the future.
Warner Bros needs to hire you, @sully-s . I would take this wonderful look at the League over depressing, edgelord stuff like KTJL any day.
Listen, if I had the time I would just make Justice Leauge the mockumentary, lol.
Hell yee.
This is a post that I put on a blog that is the start of something new for me. I don't have much on there now, but I hope to help it grow.
My best friend sent this to me, and it is a good reminder of why I am creating this diary. I have been going to theme parks since I was a baby, and I grew up with these characters and experiences as a big part of my life. Autistic kids become Autistic adults, and we need to remember that as time goes on.
ABA is a policy that I definitely do not support. I have beaten myself up some days because I don’t feel “normal.” It still takes talking with my friends and family to realize that I am not supposed to be “normal.” I’m just supposed to be me. I am lucky to know several people who are willing to help me grow and develop my independence and skills rather than try to make me fit the mold.
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a therapy that helps kids with autism learn skills and lessen problematic behavior like hurting themselves. There are several different forms of ABA. All are based on the idea that reinforcing certain behaviors will lead kids to repeat those behaviors. Studies have shown that ABA is effective, but some parents and autistic self-advocates do not support its use.
One criticism of ABA is that the earliest version of it used punishments as well as rewards. Punishments are no longer used in ABA, but critics think it is still too hard on kids because it is so repetitive. Supporters argue that modern ABA is often much less repetitive and that practitioners are trained to make learning fun and interesting for the child.
Another criticism is that ABA is too focused on eliminating behaviors instead of building skills. Some practitioners agree that this can be a problem. They emphasize that therapy needs to focus on what kids should be doing, rather than what they shouldn’t be doing.
Finally, some autistic self-advocates say that ABA tries to make kids with autism fit neurotypical standards. They argue that autistic kids have different needs, so they shouldn’t be taught to look and act like neurotypical kids. Some of these advocates says that speech and language therapy is a more helpful way for autistic kids to build skills and independence.
ABA Therapy
Lead life with empathy. If you want to be an actual ally that can help make a difference, you have to lead life with empathy and compassion. We teach children all the time to treat others the way we want to be treated, so why not continue that into adulthood?
I normally don't post stuff like this on my page, but my family really needs help. My Dad put up this page on Go Fund Me to help with bills and everything with our family, since our grandfather is not long for this world. If anyone could help donate or spread this around, that would be super helpful. Thank you so much for reading this page.

Considering some days can be rough, I definitely think a good cry is needed regardless of gender or age. Crying is what is needed for that release.
PLEASE REBLOG if you (male or female) believe it is perfectly okay and natural for a guy of any age to cry
